ISOPROPYL ESTER OF PVM/MA COPOLYMER.

Optional CAS 31307-95-6 / ANTISTATIC, BINDING, EMULSION STABILISING, FILM FORMING, HAIR FIXING

This synthetic polymer derivative functions primarily as a film-forming agent in skincare, creating a lightweight, non-occlusive barrier. It helps to reduce transepidermal water loss, contributing to enhanced skin hydration and a visibly smoother surface texture.

Film Forming Emulsion Stabilizer Binding Antistatic

Science

Mechanism of Action

Isopropyl Ester of PVM/MA Copolymer operates as a sophisticated film-forming agent upon topical application. It creates a subtle, protective matrix on the skin's surface, which demonstrably aids in diminishing moisture evaporation and refining the overall tactile and visual quality of the skin. Additionally, it can function as a binding agent, antistatic agent, and emulsion stabilizer within a formulation.
